Any ones annoyed to see/hear ### promotions to 'benefit' seniors,

physically/medically and economically, and then have to follow up by listening to/watching, like Dr. 'G,' as well as others?

(What MUST I eat? What must I NOT eat? What must I invest in? What must I NOT invest in?)

Thx



P.S. what nuts SHOULD I eat? What nuts should I NOT eat? and BERRIES???

so I can ask my doctor if RinvoQ* is right for me.

Never mind that it causes seizures, blood squirting from my ears, cannibalism, and death--it should be perfect for my condition (whatever the hell that is...)

SO. F***ing. TIRED. of ads for drugs with names that have no English equivalent, for conditions that no one living has, and with side effects so terrible that no thinking sentient human being would take the damn stuff!

we need as seniors but all this stuff is confusing and many of us (me) can hardly work my way through it all. I am good with the medicine stuff having been a nurse but insurance, how to buy a car, do you need your air conditioning checked before it poisons your air.....you know, all that kind of stuff just gets me all worked up. I tune it out now and just hope I am doing OK. I figure if I mess up I can fess up to being a old lady and make it right? RIGHT? My mother did that but....they really need to stop confusing us and bothering us and selling everything to us that is basically not really needed.

I managed all that stuff myself just fine before. I am not sure that getting older is a problem, I was always told wait until you are older you will know all of this and everyone will respect you. HA!

I totally am with you with all this.
